Amorphis - Under the Red Cloud lyrics
[Amorphis - Under the Red Cloud lyrics]
I retired to a towering mountain
Laid down in a circle of stones
For three days and for three nights
I listened to the skull of a bear
The sun burnt it's sigil into my chest
The rain washed the evil away
Time spun it'self around me
The moon cast it's silvery shell
I rose up in a circle of stones
Made my way down in the valley
Followed the banks of a rushing river
To a shore of an icy sea
The great bear growled, the thunder spoke
The mountain shook, the skies lit up
They came carrying their torches
Appeared from the desolate dark
Approached me circling and swirling
Howling their battle cries
That's when the bear was born in me
It rose on it's legs beside
From a distance the crack of thunder
And the red cloud swallowed the sky
I rose up in a circle of stones
Made my way down in the valley
Followed the banks of a rushing river
To a shore of an icy sea
And in the furthest corner of the North
On the edge of the world we know
With open arms embracing them
And I bared them my heart of hearts
Under the red cloud under the red cloud
Laid down in a circle of stones
For three days and for three nights
I listened to the skull of a bear
The sun burnt it's sigil into my chest
The rain washed the evil away
Time spun it'self around me
The moon cast it's silvery shell
I rose up in a circle of stones
Made my way down in the valley
Followed the banks of a rushing river
To a shore of an icy sea
The great bear growled, the thunder spoke
The mountain shook, the skies lit up
They came carrying their torches
Appeared from the desolate dark
Approached me circling and swirling
Howling their battle cries
That's when the bear was born in me
It rose on it's legs beside
From a distance the crack of thunder
And the red cloud swallowed the sky
I rose up in a circle of stones
Made my way down in the valley
Followed the banks of a rushing river
To a shore of an icy sea
And in the furthest corner of the North
On the edge of the world we know
With open arms embracing them
And I bared them my heart of hearts
Under the red cloud under the red cloud
